Specifically, it’s Mortal Kombat: Onslaught that’s shutting down. The team-based action RPG spinoff launched last October for iOS and Android, but NetherRealm Studios has announced that the game will be taken off sale on both platforms starting today (July 22), with in-game microtransactions being available until August 23. Following that, on October 21, a little over a year on from the game’s release, it will be fully shut down, which means it will no longer remain playable either. 

It’s unknown whether a similar fate awaits NetherRealm Studios’ other ongoing mobile titles – Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice 2 – though given all recent developments, it might seem foolish to be optimistic about their prospects. Stay tuned for more updates.

According to the announcement, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught will have players build up a team of fighters from the franchise’s roster, and take part in real-time group battles. The announcement also hints at the game featuring some sort of overarching narrative.

“We are pushing the boundaries of Mortal Kombat to allow players to experience the franchise in new ways, while still staying true to its core visceral nature,” said NetherRealm Studios chief creative officer Ed Boon. “With Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, we reimagined Mortal Kombat into a strategic team-based collection RPG with fast-paced, group melee combat that both new and existing fans can enjoy.”

No release date for Mortal Kombat: Onslaught has been announced as of yet, but players can sign up for updates on the game’s official website.
